If you can't laugh at yourself, give me a call. I'll gladly laugh at you.

Given the shape, texture, and it is magnetic, my uneducated guess is yes.
coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc. I don't give eeffoc until I have my morning coffee.

I saw some years ago in a shop in NM and those look somewhat similar. The ones I saw were a bit more irregular in shape.

Scratch the rock against unglazed ceramic to see if it leaves a streak. A streak test is a good way to test your rock to rule out terrestrial materials. Scrape your rock against the unglazed side of a ceramic tile; if it leaves any streak other than a weak grayish one, it is not a meteorite.[18]
For an unglazed ceramic tile, you can use the unfinished bottom of a bathroom or kitchen tile, the unglazed bottom of a ceramic coffee mug, or the inside of a toilet tank cover.[19]
Hematite and magnetite rocks are commonly mistaken for meteorites. Hematite rocks leave a red streak, while magnetite rocks leave a dark gray streak, indicating that they are not meteorites.[20]
Keep in mind that many terrestrial rocks also do not leave streaks; thus, while the streak test can rule out hematite and magnetite, it will not definitively prove your rock is a meteorite on its own.
